Description
The road towards the Petrified Forest is definitely worth driving slowly, and it is advised to stop and scan often. The slopes on both sides of the road provide great breeding habitat for species, like Каменка-плясунья, Малый скальный поползень, Испанская каменка, Красноклювая овсянка and Кеклик. The hilltops are used by flocks of Чеглок Элеоноры and Степная пустельга, and are often mixed with migrating species, like Кобчик.
Next to the road, several pools are present which are used by livestock to drink. Both local breeding birds and migrating species come down here for a drink, so taking your time next to a pool, and having some lunch is a great idea.
